Solvay, N.Y. -- The father of three who was stabbed and shot in Solvay over the weekend suffered from a gun shot wound to the shoulder blade and several stab wounds to the head, neck, chest and abdomen.

As of Tuesday morning, LaPoint was listed in serious condition at Upstate University Hospital. On Monday, LaPoint had been listed in stable and then fair condition. Police described LaPoint's injuries as life-threatening.

Court papers obtained by syracuse.com say that Conway shot LaPoint in the right shoulder blade with a .38-caliber handgun.

He also repeatedly stabbed LaPoint in the head, neck, chest and abdomen with an unknown bladed instrument, according to the court papers.

Court papers also show that LaPoint and Conway had previously known each other, and that there was a witness to the crimes. The name of the witness is not given.

Conway was charged with second-degree attempted murder, first-degree assault, and second-, third- and fourth-degree criminal possession of a weapon.

He was arraigned before Camillus Town Justice John Petosa and sent to jail without bail. He is being held at the Onondaga County Justice Center. His next scheduled appearance in the village of Solvay court is on Thursday at 4 p.m.

Justice Petosa issued a temporary order of protection advising Conway to stay away from LaPoint in the event he is released from jail.

In an order for a psychiatric examination, the judge described Conway as appearing disheveled and exhibiting disruptive, confused or bizarre behavior as well as threatening or violent behavior.

Police are searching for a weapon involved in the incident and are continuing their investigation.
